• Develop detailed control system design documents, including sequences of operation, network architecture diagrams, and points lists.
• Create project-related EPMS specifications.
• Define integration strategies between EPMS, PLCs, mechanical and electrical systems, and third-party monitoring platforms.
• Specify control panel requirements, I/O requirements, and communication protocols for all equipment.
• Coordinate closely with electrical equipment manufacturers to ensure monitoring requirements align with equipment designs.
• Collaborate with internal electrical engineers to ensure system logic aligns with owner design requirements.
• Work with internal and/or external stakeholders to incorporate network architecture and cabling requirements into overall project needs.
• Develop and maintain company-wide standards for EPMS design, details, and documentation templates.
• Participate in design coordination meetings and technical workshops with clients, vendors, and commissioning agents.
• Assist clients with evaluation and selection of control system integrators.
• Conduct QA/QC reviews to validate drawings, sequences, and integration details before issuance.
• Conduct site visits to gather existing system information, review construction work in progress, and confirm installed conditions comply with contract document requirements.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Electrical Power Monitoring Systems design, preferably within consulting or mission critical environments.
